Are you paying lobola soon? Mahadi-Lobola on etv is looking for you

etv’s reality series Mahadi-Lobola season 2 is searching for South Africans who are involved in lobola negotiations to be part of the warm hearted and richly textured show.

The original South African 13-part reality series, is on etv every Sunday at 18:05, is produced by Urban Brew Studios and explores the varied ways in which families undertake lobola negotiations.

Series producer Khulile Nxumalo says, “We’re looking for real stories with heart, which show how rich we are in terms of our tradition. If you’re involved in the first or second negotiations we’d like you to contact us with your story and take this opportunity to showcase your culture.
